                        Thursday, March 2, 2000

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I am introducing a duty suspension 
request on behalf of Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation of Tarrytown, 
New York. This company develops and manufactures additives, colors, 
water treatments and other specialty chemicals in the United States.
  This duty suspension is for an algicide registered with the EPA for 
use in the architectural market. It is also used as a fungicide in the 
anti-fouling boat paint market and will replace tri-butyl tin oxide 
(TBTO) whose use will be banned by the International Maritime 
Organization in the year 2004.
